Is this fake?

Drea

I've had this bag a while and was thinking about selling it today. I had a look on ebay and they had plenty of bags the same but mine looks slightly different in places.

Is it fake?










Sorry the pictures are really rubbish, the lighting in here isn't very good. Will put better ones up tomorrow morning.

The main differences I can see is on the part on the strap that says Louis Vuitton etc, seems to be upside down compared to the ones on ebay. And the light brown line around it is dark brown on ebay...

Any help appreciated

How do you come to have your bag?

I was given it from a friend years ago. They had had it for a while too.

The pictures are a bit dark. I am not an expert on LV. However, if you go to http://thepurseforum.com and post to their Authenticate This thread they will advise. You'll find experts on every type of bag.

This ebay guide is also good. ebay. You will be able to compare monograms, stiching etc.

Bag looks from picture like it is supposed to be a small pochette, (model name),however the piping is wrong.If it is the bag I think it is there shouldnt be any piping at all, however pics arent great so I could be wrong, sent me dimensions/ id number from inside bag/ and I will check it against my LV catalogue, and indeed my own genuine LV BAGS. piping just doesnt look right though.

Yeah I'd agree with last comment...Piping doesn't look right. I have 2 genuine LV's and 2 'copies'...when you stand the copies next to a real one you begin to spot little imperfections like stitching, lining inside the bags, not so smooth running zips.

Try finding the id number inside the bag.

I'd be careful selling it on Ebay though if you don't know for sure that it's 100% genuiune.

Hi, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but just from the pictures, I can tell it's a fake. The piping shouldn't actually be on the bag, the shape is not consistent with Vuitton bags that size and design, the zip teeth are not Vuitton's own and the inner zip shouldn't actually be there- not for this model of bag anyway. Also, be very wary when the piping trim doesn't brown (authentic Vuitton handles and piping on some bags will always darken due to the leather- the fakes always stay light).
Sorry for the essay but hth
